Using 2 dual sticks of different brand RAM

Hey, so I've been playing PUBG recently and doing more Like editting and my PC's been complaining about running out of RAM. So I looked into it and decided to buy a cheap, offbrand new stick of RAM from China, same bus speed and size (4GB) plus a year of warrenty. Put it in and my games keep freezing, like they just stop responding and sound keeps playing until I ctrl-alt-del which fixes it (PUBG just crashes, like 5 times a game).

Tried swapping it for one of my old sticks, same happened.

Would this be due to faulty RAM or it trying to make all 3 sticks work together with possibly different timings / voltages and messing up with that? I can buy another of the same model, which would put it into dual channel mode again I think? What's my best bet?

Cheers

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
